Hi,

I am 24 and have been experiencing symptoms for 3 months now. It all started suddenly one morning when I woke up feeling very unwell with nausea, loose stool, ocassional cramping of stomach. I was going to the toilet 3-5 times a day and noticed a small amount of blood a couple of times. 
I started to get better but then after a bbq 3 weeks ago I woke up the next morning feeling even worse than before. I now have bad fatigue, nausea in the mornings, waking up at 5-6am with bowel pain which is relieved from going to the loo. I have had a blood in my stool not in the bowl or when I wipe about 9 times in the 3 months. I also have found myself burping a lot more and my appetite is reduced. I am only going to the toilet 1-2 times a day which is normal for me and they can range from loose mush to normal. I often feel sore in my abdomen but no pain. 

i have been referred to a gastro consultant but it has been 2 months and I am extremely worried as I am not getting any better.

i have had all my bloods done twice which showed no sign of anaemia and everything was normal. I have had fecal calprotectin done which was 71, not normal but not abnormal, in a mid range. No sign of infection in any stool samples either.

i have no family history of bowel cancer but I am extremely scared that I am crying everyday. 

I would love if someone could share there stories and help, I am going out of my mind with worry.
